We are taught to avoid becoming Surety and Guarantee for loans for friends. Surety could bring poverty and financial trouble for us if the borrower defaults on his loan. We must view surety as a snare and avoid it completely. Even worse, is becoming surety for acquaintances and strangers. e not ensnared by own words and our !indness. "o not rush to consent to be Surety. "o not hastily agree to be #oan Guarantee. $f accidentally or unintentionally became a Surety or #oan Guarantee, try to get out of it soonest possible. %a!e sure the Principal orrower pays off the #oan accordingly.

The borrower is servant to the lender, and makes himself very much a slave to this world. Besides becoming Surety, I think we should also avoid unnecessary debt. To buy a house for our residence, we need to borrow from the bank. But it is not wise to take up a personal loan to buy some of our Wants and Wishers (not eeds!, e.g. house renovation, a high"end car stereo, lu#ury watches, $ewellery. We should be prudent with money and finances.
When we are Surety for a loan, or a orrower for a loan, let&s get out of debt as soon as possible. "o not delay unnecessarily. eing in debt to the ban!, we are li!e 'slaves' for the ban!, we wor! and toil for money...only to be paid to the ban!.

The Folly of Indolence (NKJV).

We are taught to be hardworking like the ants. We are warned not to lazy and sluggish. Wisdom also includes the aspect of being hardworking and diligent. The principles of hardworking and diligence are: 1) Be self-moti ated. We need to moti ate oursel es to work hard! work smart to make a decent li ing. ") Be independent. With or without being o erseen or super ised! we need to be diligent at work. We must be able to work efficiently and effecti ely! without being super ised! without being told to do so. #) $arn a decent income! so that we ha e spare money to sa e up for the future. %) &'tore up& our e(cess money for the future into the bank. )lso in est in arious other forms! e.g. house! apartment! land! stocks and shares! unit trust! and other in estment instruments. We must learn from the ants! literally and figurati ely. We should also learn to work efficiently and effecti ely! diligently and smartly! from other sources of knowledge. There are plenty of books on moti ation and self-impro ement. There are many books on financial wisdom and in estment. We must learn from these. The Bible also has many principles and guidance on issues such as financial management! in estment! a oiding slothfulness*laziness. We must be wise! and use our wisdom! to collect during the har est! to generate income. 'ometimes! income is generated alone. +ften times! income is generated together with other colleagues! with our team! with our supply chain. When the ant cannot carry a particular food ,due to big a size)! a number of ants will carry that piece of food together. 'imilarly! in our work and business enture! we need to work strategically and tactically with other people to make our work*business a success. -ommunication and dealing with other people are important skills for working smart. Working hard is not sufficient! may not always be producti e. We also need to work smart. .aziness! slothfulness! sluggishness! and procrastination! will bring po erty and financial difficulties. Those who are lazy must arise and &wake up& from their laziness to a oid the many forms of financial difficulties. We must recognize opportunities. /f 0od opens the door! and we don1t walk the way! the wealth 0od has planned for us will not materialize. /f there is opportunity! we must promptly take the necessary action. We must appreciate and act upon e ery opportunity. /s anyone slothful toward hea enly matters2 /s anyone lazy to read the words of 0od2 3s anyone lazy to meditate upon 0od1s words! and act in accordance2 /s anyone lazy to pray and make re4uests to 0od2 /s anyone lazy to thank 0od and praise 0od2 /s anyone lazy to sing praises to 0od2 /s anyone lazy to go to church! to worship 0od together with other belie ers2
